Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a spout assembly for a bottle, and particularly to a spout assembly for bottles which may be capped without removing the spout assembly.
  • bottles are provided with pouring spouts to facilitate pouring the bottle contents out of the bottle.
  • the bottle contents may be a liquid, e.g., an alcoholic drink, but may also be pourable granular material, e.g., salt, flour or the like.
  • the bottle is provided with a cap, it is generally necessary to remove the spout before the cap can be applied. This is inconvenient, since it requires extra manipulations in removing the spout to apply the cap, and in reapplying the spout after the cap has been removed.
  • the removed spout requires a suitable place for holding it until again needed. Further, removing the spout may also result in its misplacement when the spout is again needed.
  • a spout assembly for a bottle including a neck for pouring the bottle contents, and a cap closing the neck, comprising: a sleeve fixedly receivable within the bottle neck; and a spout extending through the sleeve and movable therein to an extended position projecting outwardly of the bottle neck to facilitate pouring contents from the bottle, and to a retracted position disposed within the neck when closed by the cap.
  • the outer surface of the spout is formed with an annular rib limiting against an inner rib formed in the sleeve in the extended position of the spout.
  • the outer surface of the sleeve is cylindrical and is formed with a plurality of annular ribs axial ly-spaced from each other and having an outer diameter substantially equal to the inner diameter of the bottle neck, for fixing the sleeve within the neck.
  • the outer end of the sleeve is formed with a flange of larger outer diameter than the ribs to limit against the outer surface of the neck when the sleeve is fixed within the neck.
  • the outer surface of the spout is formed with an annular rib limitting against an inner rib formed in the sleeve in the extended position of the spout.
  • the spout includes a first passageway for pouring the bottle contents, and a second passageway providing an air return into the bottle.
  • the first passageway is formed within the spout, and the second passageway is formed on the outer surface of the spout.
  • the spout further includes a tube communicating with the second passageway and extending inwardly of the spout into the bottle interior for conducting the air into the interior of the bottle.
  • a spout assembly constructed in accordance with the foregoing features does not require removing the spout when the bottle is to be capped since the spout is movable to a retracted position within the bottle neck when the cap is to be appl ied.
  • the spout assembly further includes a coil spring normally urging the spout to its extended position, but compressable to permit moving the spout to its retracted position.
  • Fig. 1 is an exploded perpspective view illustrating one form of spout assembly constructed in accordance with the present invention as applied to the neck of a bottle which may be capped, as shown in Figs. 5 and 6;
  • Fig. 2 is a longitudinal sectional view illustrating the spout assembly of Fig. 1;
  • Fig. 3 is a sectional view illustrating only the spout in the assembly of Figs. 1 and 2;
  • Fig. 4 is a top plan view illustrating the spout of Fig. 3;
  • Fig. 5 illustrates the spout assembly of Figs. 1 and 2 received within a bottle neck when the cap is removed and the spout is automatically extended to its operative position;
  • Fig. 6 illustrates the spout assembly when the cap is applied and the spout is retracted to its non-operative position.
  • a bottle generally designated 2, formed with a neck 4 which is adpated to be closed by a cap 6 (Fig. 6).
  • a spout assembly constructed in accordance with the present invention, and generally designated 8 in Figs. 5 and 6, is fixedly received within neck 4 of the bottle 2, so that it does not have to be removed in order to apply the cap 6.
  • the spout within the assembly 8 is automatically moved to a retracted position, as shown in Fig. 6; and when the cap is removed, the spout automatically moves to an extended position, as shown in Fig. 5, to enable it to be used for pouring out the bottle contents.
  • spout assembly 8 includes a cylindrical sleeve, generally designated 10, fixedly receivable within the bottle neck 4; a spout, generally designated 20, extending through the sleeve and movable therein to an extended position projecting outwardly of the bottle neck (Fig. 5) to facilitate pouring the contents from the bottle, and to a retracted position disposed within the neck when closed by the cap 6 (Fig. 6); and a coiled spring, generally designated 30, normally urging the spout 20 to its extended position but compressible to permit moving the spout to its retracted position.
  • Cylindrical sleeve 10 is formed, at its outer end (with respect to bottle 2) with a plurality of annular ribs 11 axially spaced from each other and having an outer diameter substantially equal to the inner diameter of the bottle neck 4, for fixing the sleeve within the neck.
  • Sleeve 10 is further formed with a flange 12 of larger outer diameter than the ribs 11 to limit against the outer surface of the neck 4 when the sleeve is fixed within the neck.
  • the opposite end of sleeve 10 i.e., the end facing the interior of the bottle
  • the opposite end (outer end with respect to the interior of the bottle 2) of the coil spring 30 abuts against the spout 20, as described below.
  • Spout 20 is receivable within cylindrical sleeve 10, and is movable to an extended position under the influence of spring 30 when cap 6 is removed (Fig. 5), or to a retracted position (Fig. 6) when the cap is applied.
  • the outer end of spout 20 (i.e., with respect to the interior of bottle 2) is formed with an outer conical surface, as shown at 21, to facilitate its movement within the cylindrical sleeve 10.
  • the inner end of spout 20 is formed with an outer annular rib 22 which serves as an abuttment for the outer end of the coil spring 30. The latter spring normally urges rib 22 of spout 20 against the inner surface of flange 12 of the sleeve 10, to define the extended position of the spout.
  • Spout 20 is formed with two passageways, namely: a first passageway 23 for the liquid (or other pourable material) to be poured from the bottle 2; and an air passageway 24 for returning air to the interior of the bottle when its contents are being poured.
  • the air passageway 24 includes a rectangular recess 24a formed in the outer surface of the outer end of spout 20 and extending axially a short distance thereof, and a tube 24b communicating with recess 24a and of a length to project inwardly of the inner end of sleeve 10.
  • the outer end 25 of spout 20 is cut at a bias (e.g., about 50 degrees) on the side thereof occupied by the contents-flow passageway 23, i.e., opposite to the air-inlet passageway 24, to facilitate pouring out the contents from the bottle while permitting air to pass into the bottle.
  • a bias e.g., about 50 degrees
  • the spout 20 is passed through the interior of the sleeve 10 until rib 22 of the spout abuts the inner surface of flange 12 of the sleeve.
  • Coil spring 30 is inserted into the sleeve such that the upper end of the spring abuts annular rib 22 of the spout 20.
  • snap-ring 14 is inserted into the sleeve 10 to engage the opposite end of spring 30.
  • spring 30 normally urges the spout 20 to the outermost or extended position of the spout as illustrated in Figs. 2 and 5.
  • the spout assembly 8 is then inserted into the bottle neck 4 with the ribs 11 of the sleeve 10 firmly engaging the interior of the bottle neck to fix the sleeve therein, and with the inner surface of sleeve flange 12 engaging the outer tip of the bottle neck.
  • Sleeve 10 and spout 20 of the illustrated assembly are preferably made of a plastic material.
  • Spring 30 may be made of metal or plastic.
